    Default Widows 7 and XP again

    I had Win 7 and XP booting successfully for some time (thanks to EasyBCD) until my Win 7 HDD failed. Thankfully important files were backed up unfortunately the OS wasn`t.

    I re-installed Win 7 on my new HDD but now I can`t dual boot. The XP drive was untouched and was in the PC when I re-installed Win7 and I can see all the files. Is it simply the case that I add an XP entry into EasyBCD to restore the bootloader to the way it was.

    Just add an XP entry letting EasyBCD auto-configure.
